Supporting Civil Dialogue Using Paideia Discussion

submitted by finka2@augsburg.edu

Join CTL Director Rachel Lloyd for this participatory demonstration lesson and introduction to the Paideia (pie DAY a) approach to designing and facilitating text-based discussions. In today’s challenging political climate, the skills of civil, civic-minded, and evidence-based democratic deliberation are a necessity. Paideia is a pedagogy that encourages student-centered, democratic discussions around a common text. It can be used with all ages and in all subject areas to foster a more inclusive learning environment.

Participants are asked to read the linked short story “Too Many Rules” (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u08evSPnYcx3ioq_USedg2kBIUj2z4VVMeZqlYt3jnE/edit) by Anishinabeg-Ojibwe author, Anne Dunn, prior to the workshop, and come ready to discuss the text using this focusing short reading guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lWnTCztWEjwg0fK11am71Yxn5022hj9-/edit).

This training is supported by the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship.
